I've been wanting to make this and timing never seemed right. So while doing all this cooking, baking, smoking etc for the BF to make his annual Waterfowl Hunting trip to Nebraska, I made the time to whip up a batch of this bread.
First let me say, if you've never tried this, DO! I made no changes (even for altitude) to the original recipe that Roller posted:

Here is the bread that I have been making lately it is a great sandwich bread with lots of flavor.Give it a try you will like it.Ingredients
Instead of making 2 loaves of bread, I made 1 loaf and 1 pan of Poppy Seed Dinner Rolls. I don't have a Kitchen Aid Mixer, so this was all done by hand and still wasn't hard to do. Next time I make it, I might just try mixing the dough in my bread machine, but not baking it in it.
No pics of the initial mixing.
This is after the second 30 minute rise, getting ready for the oven.
Finished baking and then brushed with butter to cool.

Poppy Seed Dinner Rolls ready for the oven
Done and brushed with butter.
As I said this is not difficult at all to make. I used Bob's Red Mill Bread Flour. We had the rolls with dinner last night (Jalapeno & Cheddar Kielbasa and Sauerkraut - Joe's (Boykjo) Kielbasa Seasoning.
Both the rolls and the bread are soft, but not tough and hold up very well. Doesn't make loads of crumbs everywhere either while slicing or eating it. Now the BF wants a couple dozen of the rolls to take with him! I will be making this recipe many more times, as well as making hamburger and brat rolls with it.
Thank you Roller for an outstanding and easy bread recipe!
Thanks for looking!

Here is the bread that I have been making lately it is a great sandwich bread with lots of flavor.Give it a try you will like it.Ingredients
- 2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 6 cups bread flour
- In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.
- Mix salt and oil into the yeast. Mix in flour one cup at a time. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
- Punch dough down. Knead for a few minutes, and divide in half. Shape into loaves, and place into two well oiled 9x5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until dough has risen 1 inch above pans.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes.
